Inaugurated in 2016 as a fitting marker of the 90th founding anniversary of Miriam College as a trailblazing learning institution, the center has emerged as an icon of innovation-driven learning and teaching. As an ideation space, it affords learners and their mentors the means to integrate skills in design thinking, business incubation, and social enterprise. Indeed, it is not only a playground of exciting ideas. More importantly, it is a laboratory for making novel ideas happen.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Inspired by the life of an icon of innovation, Henry Sy, Sr., the center is premised on a model of creating a culture of innovation that is very local in spirit but global in consciousness. This model is marked by three indigenous processes of active learning \u2013 laro (play), likha (produce), and linang (promote).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Project-Based Learning (PBL)<\/strong> is an instructional approach in which students acquire subject knowledge and skills by working toward the completion of an authentic, meaningful task. Unlike the traditional view of a project as a final output produced at the end of a learning period to demonstrate understanding, PBL places the project at the core of the learning process, allowing it to evolve alongside students\u2019 growing mastery of content. At Miriam College, we advocate a localized design thinking framework to guide students in developing innovative projects: Laro (Play), Likha (Produce), and Linang (Perfect). In the Laro stage, students broaden their perspectives on a problem by adopting a playful and exploratory mindset, engaging with new ideas and possibilities through carefully designed entry events. This is followed by the Likha stage, where students bring their ideas to life by creating prototypes at varying levels of fidelity and presenting these to the intended beneficiaries to gather feedback. The process culminates in the Linang stage, during which students refine and improve their solutions based on the insights gained. Through the LLL process, Miriam College students develop as innovative and creative designers of solutions as they actively engage in meaningful PBL experiences.<\/p>

When I was a little girl, I remember enjoying my pre-school days at the MC-Preschool (MC-CSC) because of the cozy pajama-like uniform, the tree house, and Learning Resource Center (LRC). Never did I imagine that Miriam College would be a great part of my life. \u00a0I was a student of the Miriam College from pre-school to college, spending two years in Preschool, seven in Grade School, four in High School, and another four in college. \u00a0Miriam College truly became my second home.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

My education in Miriam College has taught me to appreciate a well-rounded and balanced approach to learning. I\u2019ve learned to value not only the lessons taught within the classroom setting that allow us to grow academically, but also those that we may learn beyond our daily requirements that would create an impact on our individual growth. It has empowered me to develop a more service-oriented and open-minded leadership style through the endless opportunities we get to reach out, interact, and serve with all kinds of people. MCHS holistically develops my being, so that I can be of service to others.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
